Hey thanks for sending this!

✎: how do you think readers would guess a fic was yours if you posted anonymously?

This is something that I could easily change if I really wanted to hide my identity, but the fact that I put linked footnotes in my fics is pretty distinctive I'd say (I am a compulsive overexplainer who's read too much Terry Pratchett)

Also I seem to be in the minority of fanfiction authors for writing in past tense, so there's that

#asks #isabel.tex #writing #inhuman-horrors #also the only notable exceptions to my always writing in past tense are #a) a companion one-shot to the bachelorette au that i have vague plans for #and b) the time i had to write a short story in french in hs because i didn't want to deal with learning the passé simple #and passé composé was too clunky
